Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012016882A1] In order to provide a method for isolating a circuit and a thermal link, wherein the link has a very low resistance and is suitable for high currents, in particular very high short load currents, and also has a high degree of reliability, in particular under difficult conditions, such as thermal and mechanical loading which lasts for a relatively long time, for example, the invention proposes that, during the phase transition of the material of the fusible element (10) from the solid to the liquid state, the volume of the fusible element (10) increases and the pressure increases and, owing to the increase in volume and the increase in pressure, the fusible element (10) is dislodged so as to break the electrical connection.
